Don't wanna blame you, just a suggestion: Your garden has so much space for insect-friendly plants! Maybe you could try and plant some of these (cornflower, meadow clary, eurasian catchfly, oregano, stinging nettle...) for our super important "fellows" in the future. :) Sending lots of love and thanks for your inspirational content!
Could you do a “clean up with me video?” I’d love to see what your routine is and products you use. For example.. how do you get the silicone mats so clean each time??? How long is clean up usually?
I would really suggest pruning your tomato plants. And checking if your tomato plants are determinate or indeterminate plants. Indeterminate need HUGE trellises just to keep them less bushy/the vines in control. But yeah pruning will signal the plant to produce more fruit and will divert less of the water/nutrients into foliage as well as provide more air flow for the plants (helps reduce plant disease and pests too)
Caitlin, you have too much green plant and too little tomatoes on your plants. To help you, I suggest checking out The Gardening Channel with James Prignoli. He makes it very simple to understand how to grow your tomato plants. You might get more tomatoes if you take time to prune and stake them right. Squash and beans he shows as well. Just his basic pruning and staking tips should help you.😉🌿🌱🌾🌻🌿🐕🐶
I’ve always loved your channel and I love seeing how much more comfortable you seem just eating and snacking randomly with Dylan. It’s really helpful to see how your relationship with food has changed throughout the years and know that mine can too and that it’s okay to change!
It’s recommended not to water plants in the middle of the day when the sun is up, from what i was taught the watering should be done before 9-10 am and then again in the evening. It’s also recommende to water at the root and avoid the leaves (wet leaves+heat isn’t a good combo)
My daughter loves strawberry cream cheese. I'm always trying to hide healthy stuff in her food. Can you make a cashew cream cheese with strawberries so that I can have that additional hidden food for her?
My cucumber looks the exact same way. My garden hasn't done too well this year. I also like to prune back my tomatoes. The first year I did them they grew HUGE and overwhelming. I started pruning them to keep them small and let the energy go to the fruit. My mom also tried it, any cutting you make you can actually turn into another plant. ❤🍅
Caitlin! I have loved your most recent “What I Ate Today” videos. I have always loved seeing your meals, but they seem so much more relatable now. Especially the cereal/dessert part haha
I'm crying with laughter at the tomato plants... reminds me of when I worked on a farm and the tomato greenhouse turned into a literal jungle by the end of the season!
If your tomatoes don't ripen in time I recommend fried green tomatoes! I know you aren't a fan of lots of fried food, it would be cool if you made a lighter baked version.
Looks like your Swiss chard bolted to seed. Which is a good thing when that happens as you will possibly get "volunteer" Swiss chard plants next season. 💚✌
Awesome garden! Our zucchini didn't end up fruiting but we ended up with tons of cucumbers (which we pickled) and blackberries! I'm hoping to make some sort of jam with them.
Ok I live in Washington, and I see the berry bushes everywhere, but I never really thought to pick them. I did wonder if they were a safe variety, though I don’t know anything about plants and the like. When we lived in Hawaii we used to pick mango and avocado, I miss the free produce 😂
I may have to try those Hemp Bars. I love Hemp Seeds. Your Garden looks nice with the new deck. I did not know you could grow blueberries in pots. I may have to try that.
I've started to document my Vegan WFPB Weight loss Journey in my own RUclips 📸🎥channel. You are such a big motivation to me!!!! Crispy chickpeas are my FAV!!!! i love to take them as snacks to the movies 😍💕
Hahaha the garden update 😂 Make sure you’re getting the suckers before they grow out. Those are indeterminate tomatoes so you’ll have to prune on top and the sides. The chard bolted (went to seed). So it’ll probably reseed into the bed and the space outside it. Then you’ll get “volunteers” next year. I have that amount of stuff in 4 beds so I’d suggest building more for next year or growing less in what you have. Great job for your first year!!!!
Hi have you been eating more food like having more meals? Idk coz it seems you have and if so why the change- is it nutrient related or to do with intuitive eating?
Can people stop with these kind of expectations and assumptions about other people’s lives!? What if they don’t want to get married? Or if they want to keep it private? Just live your own life and appreciate the videos.
I'm definitely tired - I have a TON of things due at the end of this month so things have been a little....sleepless? haha. After august ends I should have a lot more free time and am looking forward to taking a step back and getting some well-earned rest :)
You look quite exhausted and very pale. I strongly recommend incorporating some high quality animal products into your diet to improve your overall health and wellbeing. Veganism is extremely dangerous and will prevent you from reaching optimal health.
Rainy Midnight I thought the same thing, lately she looks pretty pale and not healthy. I’m not hating I just think she might need to modify her diet a bit
Dana J, thank you for understanding my opinion. Yeah, I’m not hating either - just sharing my honest thoughts. I like Caitlin, but I feel she is quite misguided in regards to nutrition, and she’s not looking so vibrant as a result.
JarvisChrist I agree, you can get everything you need on a plant based diet, But you have to do it right. All we’re saying is that she doesn’t look healthy. If you watch her older videos she actually looked a lot better. And she was eating more. Watermelon(only) for breakfast is not a good way to start your day.
@@danaj7021 I agree there are other, better ways to eat vegan but I disagree with your claim that "veganism is extremely dangerous and will prevent you from reaching optimal health". Absolutely ridiculous.

Up
Yessss I love clean with me videos but not many are all vegan friendly!
The tiny raspberries make me so happy! And happy gardening!

Emaline L. Also a cage for each tomato plant helps with that. They are less than $5 each and can be reused year after year.
The chard went to seed 😊 You can dry and keep some for next year!

"I would say good morning but it's already 1:30"
Lmao
The Beauty Of Dance Moms I felt that. Lol
Living the good life haha but if to be honest, personally sleeping too much get me headaches and bad mood

Hi Caitlin yes it seems like your tomatoes did take over. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
My daughter loves strawberry cream cheese. I'm always trying to hide healthy stuff in her food. Can you make a cashew cream cheese with strawberries so that I can have that additional hidden food for her?
Is your name inspired by 'Veronica Mars'? 😊
Look up square foot gardening. Really helpful for understanding raised beds. And trimming tomatoes, :P
Those tomatoes are really happy🍅🌱

I would highly, highly recommend pruning your tomatoes! It will help you have the highest yield and the healthiest plants in the long run 😊
Caitlin! I have loved your most recent “What I Ate Today” videos. I have always loved seeing your meals, but they seem so much more relatable now. Especially the cereal/dessert part haha
haha thank you :)
I love them so much and I can't wait to see more!

If your tomatoes don't ripen in time I recommend fried green tomatoes! I know you aren't a fan of lots of fried food, it would be cool if you made a lighter baked version.
Can't wait to see your garden in a year from now!
Do you have any videos on budgeting as a vegan? I'm about to go about to school and really want to figure out how to budget.
Looks like your Swiss chard bolted to seed. Which is a good thing when that happens as you will possibly get "volunteer" Swiss chard plants next season. 💚✌

I love gardening type videos!
Excellent video and great to get a update on how Lily your dog is. Great to see the work done on the garden and home grown plant foods are brilliant.
Im buying my first house in the Spring and Im so excited to have a garden! I love fresh produce grown with love 🥰🌿
yess! that's one of my favorite parts :)
Congrats on your first home!
That's such a great idea with the deck. I will definitely look into that with my next house.

i love how colorful the wrap is!!!
I have that same yoga mug with the cute little mat coaster😊
That dinner looks SO good I can’t even-

I love seeing your garden tour! My tomato plant took over my garden too.

Hello! Where did you get that oversized mirror in your living room? I’ve been looking for one for a while and LOVE that one!
Have you tried Protein LARABARS ,they are very good! Thanks for another nice video)
I haven't! I'll have to check them out, I love the regular ones!
Hahaha the garden update 😂

Dylan saying Hurray for our chickpeas while rocking Lily just made me laugh so hard and is an entire mood
Hi have you been eating more food like having more meals?
Idk coz it seems you have and if so why the change- is it nutrient related or to do with intuitive eating?
Your deck is gorgeous! Love the seating you jave there too!
Your videos make me genuinely so happy! So cool to see how the house is coming together. Thanks for being you Caitlin!
what brand is/where did u get the golden milk popsicles??? they look so good
Lucy Lu they are homemade :) recipe is for a secret project that I’ll be announcing soon 🤫
@@CaitlinShoemaker I figured those were probably homemade.
I love the mason jar with the blue hue and flat bottom you’re drinking out of. Where did you get it?
Found it at target today, disregard!
You are such a great person. Thank you for sharing such easy, healthy meal ideas😍 i love watermelon and it was great seeing you eating it like i do ❤️
I cracked up when I saw how the tomato garden exploded! Omgggg😂😂😂
Lily doing yoga was ADORABLE
Wait I know redd bar re-did their bars, is that what you were talking about when you ate your snack??
The Hemp Bar brand also makes cookie dough protein bars and they are SO GOOD. You gotta check them out.
The derp face killed me 😂♥️
What is the outro music? 😍
I love this video Caitlin :)
Very Cute. Thanks for all the Food suggestions. Thumbs Up!
Your garden still looks good, and now you know for next year things to not do! It's a learning process.
Try GoMacro bars ❤ Maple Sea Salt
Is Lily a vegan doggo? If she is, do you feed her a storebought brand or do you make her food yourself?
Roasted veggies and sweet taters are my absolutely favorite go to meal
Can you make a sugar-free gluten-free what I ate in a day? it would be awesome [for candida diet or diabitecs]
Nice vid. Set the clock on your stove already!
do u not eat in the morning?
Will Lilly ever meet Amber?!
Probably not, because neither of them are small enough to go in the plane cabin and I have no plans to drive all the way to the east coast lol
Caitlin Shoemaker gotcha! Maybe through FaceTime
Excellent job
Yay! Loved this video
Try apple cider vinegar on watermelon, omg! Amazing!
I thought you didn’t use oil in your recipes??
Alex Montoya i don’t but I cook with it at home sometimes 😊
i wasn't watching at first and thought the straw slurping noise was a massive burp
You and a few others inspired me to go vegan🤗
That wrap looks so amazing! And I very much appreciate that you cook and show gluten free meals, didnt even know that rice tortillas existed 🤣👍✌
Happy Birthday..🎉🎉 May God bless u..🙏🏻🙏🏻
Damnnn that is a huge dinner yum!
Omg, her Yoga pose is adorable 😍
i love your videos so much and you’re just amazing :) 💛💛
Can't wait for the engagement video!!!!
What. They're engaged? O.O
Can people stop with these kind of expectations and assumptions about other people’s lives!? What if they don’t want to get married? Or if they want to keep it private? Just live your own life and appreciate the videos.
@@veroniquecastel9582 holy fuck.
The channel “Gardening Answers” here on RUclips has a great video they recently posted about pruning tomato plants. Definitely check them out!
Love your tomatoe bomb bush, lol
Your garden looks great though. :)
So are you not friends with Jasmine and Chris anymore? You have quit mentioning each other and quit appearing in each other’s videos.
the cute dog is also vegan?
you look a little worn out, hope ur okay
I'm definitely tired - I have a TON of things due at the end of this month so things have been a little....sleepless? haha. After august ends I should have a lot more free time and am looking forward to taking a step back and getting some well-earned rest :)
aww what kind of dog is she???
shes 30% boxer, 100% awesome ;)
Is your dog vegan? 💕
All your videos have giving me some much inspiration and I just wanna say THANK YOU!
